Upcoming Jungle Book Movies

Who's ready for Epic Mindblowing?

I said this before, but I'm going to recap, otherwise my news isn't as brilliant. 

Benedict Cumberbatch plays Sherlock in Sherlock. 

Benedict Cumberbatch plays Khan in Star Trek. 

Benedict Cumberbatch = Sherlock + Khan = Shere Khan. 

AND 

In the 2016 Warner Bros Jungle Book movie, Benedict Cumberbatch is playing Shere Khan. That's not to be confused with the 2015 Disney Jungle Book movie in which Benedict Cumberbatch is not playing Shere Khan. 

Nailed it. 

By the way Andy Serkis is playing Baloo in the Warner Bros Jungle Book and Cate Blanchette is playing Kaa. 

Is Kaa supposed to be female? I don't remember Kaa being female in the book. Excuse me I'll wikipedia it. 

Wikipedia says Kaa is a man. Not an actual man, but a guy. A snake-man. A male snake. That's what I meant. 

So why is Kaa female in both new Jungle Book movies? Maybe they're trying to overcome the bondage of male-domination and misogyny and appease the mob of angry women that will come at them with pitchforks and live sharks if none of the characters are female. 

Personally, I don't care. If every character and his dog and his grandmother are male, it doesn't bother me, I just want to see a good movie. 

But, anyway, like I said, Benedict Cumberbatch is playing Shere Khan. I called it. Good night!
